Firefox won't even open now that I've installed Snagit - what can I do to fix this?

Today I bought and downloaded Snagit (TechSmith) for Macintosh. When the program was being installed it asked me if I wanted a nifty Firefox extension installed. I stupidly (as it turns out) agreed! Now, Firefox won't even open. I've tried restarting the computer and still no luck. How can I diagnose the problem with Firefox? (I know that I could just download Firefox again but I don't want to lose my many bookmarks etc.)
I opened the file in the Firefox Application folder that gives crash information and it mentioned Error Code 1?

Why won't iMac open the cd it just created?

My intel iMac (07 build) won't play/ open the cd I just burned on it. !
Older cds I created DO open, just fine. Why won't this new one open? It is a cd-r.
Does this mean that the burn did not happen? I have burned a cd-r, cd rw, and dvd - none of them will open.
iI need to send a cd of my artwork to a gallery to be juried. If I can't open the cd on my iMac, will the galley be able to open it? In other words - did I burn a cd and my iMac is just acting up? Or did I NOT burn a cd, and my iMac is acting up?
The message I get when I try to open the new cd is...." there is a problem. The Media is not supported"
and the iDVD icon shows up on the desktop.
This is day two of my trying to figure this problem out - can anyone help me?
Thanks,
artdough

Use a drive cleaner to clean your superdrive. See if that works. If it does, use it every 3 months or so if you do a lot of burning.

IMac won't "wake-up" after installing latest security update

I have a fairly new iMac G5 2GHz, and just installed the latest security update yesterday(4/1/06). Since that update, everytime my computer goes to sleep, I can't wake it up.
The power light is on and I hear the computer running... I can even hear the error "bonk" when I try and hit a bunch of keys, but still won't wake up. Was NEVER a problem until yesterday and I haven't installed anything else.
Thanks in advance

Why won't firefox open a hot link in a new tab? I have selected the setting that is supposed to do this, but Firefox insists upon opening a new window, every time! It's annoying as hell.

OK...ummmm, I'm running Mac OS10.4.11 (not so sure about the last two digits, but you get the idea). I installed the latest Firefox update maybe a week ago... my monitor crapped out yesterday, so I replaced it with a bigger one that I had lying around. I have used this monitor with this machine before, and had no problems with getting Firefox to open links that I clicked on in a new tab. As per your Help site, I checked the monitor's 'size' and it was as always. I even reduced the 'size' of the monitor, but no joy.
What gives, oh Mighty One?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

When I download a Word file from a classroom management database, why won't Firefox open the file without me having to save it?

I have been using Firefox for many years with Blackboard products. In the last six months or so, when I try to download a student's file that is a Word .docx, it won't let me open it without saving it. Word .doc files work fine. I don't have this problem with Internet Explorer, but of course IE is clunky, slow, and doesn't fill in forms. Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if I can supply more details.

Two possible problems. 
1. BlackBoard never supports the latest version of Firefox, for a few reasons. Some schools don't run the latest version of BlackBoard Vista or Campus Edition. Also, BlackBoard upgrades seem to be tied to the "school year" cycle, the changes they make to improve and update their software seem to be rolled out for the fall term so that changes aren't being made during the normal "school year" and possibly causing problems for the schools. That also may be a function of their contract / payment cycles with the schools that use their programs.
http://www2.blackboard.com/tuneup/viewpage?name=tuneup_browser_tuneup_windows_firefox 
Select the link for the version of WebCT Vista or Campus Edition ''(version info is usually at the bottom of each page, in the footer)'' that your school is using, then see which version of Firefox is compatible.
Depending upon which version of WebCT your school is using, you will have to use Firefox 3.6.x, Firefox 3.5.x, or Firefox 3.0.x when accessing the Blackboard site.
My advice is to install the Firefox Portable version that you need for Blackboard on your computer, and use that installation only for Blackboard. Continue to use 4.0.1 for all other web browsing.

2. Firefox uses a Plugin ( you have Office Plugin for Netscape Navigator installed) to open files that aren't "internet files", like word processing documents. 
I can't help you directly with Office, as I use Open Office, but there should be a preference for that Plugin within your Office preferences or options under something like Internet, to have those files '''Display documents in browser'''. 
Or see this to make sure you have your "file type" set correctly.

Why won't firefox open up again after i completly close it?

When I close completely out of Firefox, then later try re-opening it, it won't open. It acts like it wants to open but will not. The only other way to use Firefox after closing out of it, is by shutting my computer down completely. How else can this be fix? When i go to update Firefox, it says that the program is in use and cannot update till i close out of it, but I already closed out of Firefox... Whats going on? My Firefox version is 3.5.16, and my system is Windows 7.

Why won't Firefox open a second tab after upgrading to version 30?

I run Windows 7 Pro. Up until the latest auto update I could clcik the plus sign on the tab and open new tabs. Won't work now. Please advise.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Hello Bryan.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

I just wanted to chip in with my complaint that I just downloaded the Security Update 2012-001 10.6.8, and now non of my Office 2004 apps work appropriately. I can open existing word documents, but they won't print) etc. When will apple issue a fix?

While I wait for apple to fix this issue, is there an easier fix to this than using Time Machine to restore to an earlier version?

Apple just issued an "update on the update" that seems to have fixed the problem (Security Update 2012.001 v1.1, see: http://tidbits.com/article/12768). All my Word 94 apps now seem to function properly. Haven't checked everything yet, but the ability to print has been restored.
Thanks Apple!!!!

Unable to open photoshop that i just installed!

I just installed photoshop cc and now i can't open the application.

Frankly, I don't know what's happening, but I can offer you some options. I only hope that you'll post here with the results so others can solve this:
If you have access to another computer, see if you can send the iBook to your iPad via Dropbox. I know this works for PDFs; I'm hoping it also works for other ebooks.

Why won't Firefox open Yahoo mail or Craigslist correctly; it's corrupted.

For some reason I got a bug or something in my computer and these two sites (that I know of) won't open correctly, they are corrupted. Something like this happened before, but worse where I couldn't open the browser. I went to Internet Explorer and I reinstalled Firefox and it fixed the problem. Not so this time. Hope somebody has some suggestions, I especially don't want to lose all my bookmarks..

Why won't Firefox open my e-mail page, after clicking the tab, from a Comcast preview page?

I have Comcast.net. From my home page, when I click the email button, first, I must sign-in and then a preview page appears with a short list of emails. When I click the tab to open the entire email page, the entire page does not open as it should. When I click each email on the preview page, each email will not open, as it should, either. This all worked, previously, but stopped working about 3 days ago.
